Amy Grant How Mercy Looks From Here

How Mercy Looks From Here, her first album of all-new material in a decade, on May 14. Produced by Marshall Altman (who has helmed projects by Natasha Bedingfield and Matt Nathanson, among others), the album features guest vocals from Eric Paslay and Sheryl Crow ("Deep As It Is Wide"), Carole King ("Our Time Is Now") and Will Hoge ("Shovel in Hand"). The first single from the collection, "Don't Try So Hard," features harmony vocals from James Taylor.

"I feel the most settled in life and creatively I feel like a kid again," says the singer, who celebrated her 13th wedding anniversary with husband Vince Gill in March. Vince also appears on the album, which was entirely written by Amy with the exception of one song penned by Eric Paslay.

The centerpiece of the album, its title track "How Mercy Looks From Here," ostensibly relates the story of a flood and the grief and loss that results from it, yet ultimately it paints an inspirational picture of survival, through hope and persistence.
